MISSION STATEMENT

To empower Mvskoke youth by connecting to culture, community and resources.

ABOUT

HISTORY

The Mvskoke Nation Youth Services (MNYS) program was created in October 2014. It is a result of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation Strategic Planning session earlier that year.  That group of tribal leaders identified this goal: To engage Mvskoke youth in organized activities that will contribute to the community and tribal community; and help them enhance their interest, skills, and abilities into their adulthood.

​

Young people and the community were asked what youth needed to be successful and a group of youth and adults came together to develop the mission and program goals.  Young people have been involved in every aspect of program development and continually serve as consultants and resources.
